Peace talks began in Switzerland on Wednesday with the aim of finding a political solution to the civil war in Syria. The talks began as a new report surfaced which claimed the Assad regime has tortured at least 11,000 prisoners. We'll get an update with journalist Dan Murphy.

Then, we'll talk with one of the authors of a new report from Oxfam International highlighting the growth of global income inequality. Finally, a look at the work of the Foods Resource Bank.
